10 questions · two minutes

1. You’re building a model to detect lesions on scans, but radiologists disagree about some labels. What do you do?

2. You’ll be working with real patients’ medical data. What’s your approach?

3. Your screening model must choose between more false alarms or more missed cases. How do you decide?

4. The programme is taught in English, with classmates from medicine, engineering and computer science from different countries. How do you see that?

5. A doctor asks why the model flagged a scan as suspicious. How do you respond?

6. Scans come from different hospitals and scanners, and your model works on some but not others. What do you do?

7. How do you feel about designing a clinical validation study for your tool?

8. You come from either medicine or computing, and you’ll need to learn the other side. How do you feel?

9. A diagnostic system makes a mistake and a case is missed. How do you think about it?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence in Medical Diagnostics?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI, also machine intelligence, MI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence (NI) displayed by humans and other animals. In computer science AI research is defined as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".
Intelligence
Intelligence has been defined in many different ways to include the capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, and problem solving. It can be more generally described as the ability to perceive or infer information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.
Artificial Intelligence
A computer program written by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois has come up with a major mathematical proof that would have been called creative if a human had thought of it. In doing so, the computer has, for the first time, got a toehold into pure mathematics, a field described by its practitioners as more of an art form than a science. ...Dr. McCune's proof concerns a conjecture that is the very epitome of pure mathematics. ...His computer program proved that a set of three equations is equivalent to a Boolean algebra...

Artificial Intelligence
Can those who believe the computer is "an embodiment of mind" really not tell the difference between so poorly a caricature and the true original?
Theodore Roszak, The Gendered Atom (1999)
Intelligence
We really seek intelligence not for the answers it may suggest to the problems of life, but because we believe it is life,—not for aid in making the will of God prevail, but because we believe it is the will of God. We love it, as we love virtue, for its own sake, and we believe it is only virtue’s other and more precise name.
John Erskine, The Moral Obligation to be Intelligent (1915), pp. 26-27
